This first event for Normandy residents presented the ambitious Normandy for Peace initiative, its raison d'être and its expertise to the public. As mentioned by Hervé Morin, President of the Region, the subjects of defence, peace, security and geopolitics must not be subjects which are solely for countries’ administrations and military forces. These events provided interdisciplinary and international viewpoints on the subject of “A World Without Peace? ”.
The Abbaye-aux-Dames hosted several debates which included Abdessattar Ben Moussa, the winner of the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize and the former President of the Tunisian League of Human Rights, Ahmet Insel, a Turkish economist, Konstantin von Eggert, a Russian journalist, and Michel Onfray, a philosopher.
